user_id not filled CFv5.03

Hi. As you can see in the images, I set the hidden user_id field to be filled with the joomla user id before the submit button, but the new record does not have the user_id field filled with it.
What can I do?.
Thanks in advance,
Octavio.

Hi Octavio,

To get joomla user you need to add a "&" so, set your code before HTML render action like this:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->data['id'] = $user->id;
?>

Then, on Load, your field will be filled.

Hi,

If you have v5.0.3 then the user_id field should be filled in automatically if you don't have a "user_id" key in the data array, in other words, just remove your field and it will be stored if a user is logged in.

You can also use a "debugger" instead of "db save" to check the data array before its saved!

Hi BN,

The & is *not* required in Joomla! 3 - actually in PHP 5.3 and later I think - and may cause a PHP Warning or Notice.

Hi Bob,

I didn't know that. I'll be more careful now to try not use the "&" character🙂

Thanks,
